Oh my gosh! This is just what I need. I am not a skilled photographer (at all!). When I published my blog post yesterday (of some gorgeous gardens in bloom in SoCal), I actually thought, “What would Carolyn and Kerri say?” They are friends of mine who follow my blog. Both are professional photographers. Maybe I will feel less silly if I can successfully hone my “skillz.”

I’m really excited to start reading this ebook but the pdf isn’t downloading and then it says cloudup is under maintenance? Does anyone else encounter this problem? And is there anyone other way I can download the ebook? Thanks!
